Frauds play complex psychological tricks to fool others， says Colin Barras and that means anyone can be cheated unless they know what to look for.

None of us likes to be cheated， and David Modic has done some researches on it. Its the personal passion that has convinced Modic to study the psychology of cheating. He s not alone：the field is thriving， and the information that researchers are uncovering is valuable to us all—from those single in search of love to the technology wizards in charge of the worlds online security.

Modic is particularly interested in what makes people easy to fraud. Its common to imagine that only the foolish or poorly educated might fall victim—but even hard evidence suggests this is not the case. Take Paul Frampton， an Oxbridge educated academic professor of physics for example. In 2012 Frampton was given almost 5 years in prison for drug smuggling in Argentina， after falling victim to an online dating frauds.And then theres John Worley. As a psychotherapist， Worley knows more than most of us about controlling lifes right ways. But in 2005 he was put on trial for bank fraud after becoming a victim of a fraud. This fraud sees people contacted by someone claiming to be a Nigerian government official appealing for help moving large sums of money out of the country—who just requires a little money upfront to release the fortune. Worley was found guilty and sentenced to two years in prison.

Intelligent and experience offer no protection against cheaters，says Modic. “If it did， then better educated people and older people would be less likely to fall for scams.And that is not supported by my research.”

To look for answers to that question， Modic and Frank Stajano have quizzed thousands of people， asking them first whether they think various frauds are reasonable—and whether they have fallen victim to them—before asking them to perform a personality test. The research has identified a number of characteristics that people who are victims of frauds seem to have in common.Some of these traits—like a lack of selfcontrol—we would probably recognize as dangerous. But others—a trust in authority， a desire to act in the same way as our friends， or a tendency to act in a consistent way—we might think of as good characteristics.

38. According to the passage， the frauds may .

A. highly threaten the worlds online security

B. play their tricks in a consistent way

C. receive much education of psychology

D. have high intelligence to help cheating

39. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us that .

A. who and what makes people easy to fraud

B. all walks of life would be likely to fall for scams

C. the poorly educated may be easier to be cheated

D. government officials should be responsible for frauds

40. Modic and Frank Stajanos researches find out that the victims .

A. often follow friends actions

B. also share good characteristics

C. are considered to be dangerous

D. shouldnt have a trust in authority

C

Its well established that people with low economic status are the hardest hit by the current obesity pandemic， as well as related health problems such as diabetes. Poor healthcare， stress， unhealthy lifestyles， and a lot of cheap junk food are all thought to play a role. But a new study suggests theres a subconscious component， too.

When researchers merely led study volunteers to consider themselves lowclass， they were more likely to prefer， choose， and eat larger amounts of food， as well as highercalorie foods. The findings， published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences， reflect whats been seen in a variety of animals. Thus， the authors assume that the mental problem may be an evolutionary holdover intended to improve survival by compensating for a lack of social and material resources. More important for humans， the findings suggest that we may not be able to deal with obesity by just improving access to healthier foods and promoting exercise.

For the study， psychology researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore drafted nearly 500 healthy participants for two experiments. In the first， the team had 101 participants complete a task in which they were shown a ladder with ten steps and told to select which step they were on relative to either a wealthy， welleducated， powerful person or a poor， uneducated， unimportant person. Next， the participants got to pick foods from an imagined buffet. Taking into account things like each participants normal eating pattern， hunger， and gender， the researchers found that those who ranked their social status lower chose more food and more highcalorie foods than those that ranked themselves as having a higher social status.

In the other experiment， researchers gave 167 participants the same socioeconomic ranking task， then asked them to match high calorie foods （pizza， hamburgers， fried chicken） and low calories foods （vegetables and fruits） with either pleasant or unpleasant descriptors， such as tasty or nasty. Again， those who landed lower on the ladder had a tendency to prefer the highcalorie food.

“These findings suggest that the thought of low social standing may be critically linked to obesity risk via increased intake of calories，” the authors conclude. As such， the subjective experience of low social standing may be another barrier to improving health.

41. What does the author want to reveal in the first paragraph？

A. More and more people tend to suffer from diabetes.

B. Unhealthy lifestyles contribute to obesity pandemic.

C. Subconscious plays a part in causing obesity pandemic.

D. lowclass people are less likely to be affected by diabetes.

42. What is the possible link between lowclass people and animals？

A. Consumption of larger amounts of food results from desire for survival.

B. Lowclass people and animals are easily affected by mental disabilities.

C. Creatures consuming highercalorie foods consider themselves lowclass.

D. Humans and animals have both consumed much food during evolution.

43. How can humans deal with obesity completely according to the findings？

A. By carrying out the two experiments.

B. By adopting comprehensive approaches.

C. By accessing large amounts of healthy foods.

D. By getting involved in lots of physical exercise.

44. What does the underlined word “critically” in the last paragraph mean？

A. Loosely. B. Importantly.

C. Closely. D. Relatively.

45. The passage mainly intends to inform us that .

A. findings remain to be proved

B. obesity pandemic represents risks

C. low social standing ruins dignity

D. positive thoughts help stay in shape

D

Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money， and most of them lose it instead， but there are other ways of pursuing money， which often succeed. So it is with happiness. Epicurus， a Greek philosopher， pursued it by living only in pleasant society and eating only dry bread for the sake of his poor health， with a little cheese on feast days. His method proved successful in his case， but something more nutritious would be needed for most people， for whom the pursuit of happiness， unless supplemented in various ways， is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life.

We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are. Animals live on impulse，and are happy as long as external conditions are favorable. A cat will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an occasional night on the roof. Your needs are more complex than those of a cat， but they still have their basis related to nature. In civilized societies， especially in Englishspeaking societies， this is too likely to be forgotten. People propose to themselves some topmost objective， and prevent all impulses that do not seem to serve it. A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that he sacrifices health and private affections. When at last he has become rich， no pleasure remains to him except annoying other people by inspirations to imitate his noble example. Many rich ladies，although nature has not qualified them with any spontaneous pleasure in literature or art， decide to be thought cultured， and spend boring hours learning the right thing to say about fashionable new books that are written to give delight， not to afford opportunities for dusty snobbism.

If you look around at the men and women whom you can call happy， you will see that they all have certain things in common. The most important of these things is an activity which at most gradually builds up something that you are glad to see coming into existence. Women who take an instinctive pleasure in their children can get this kind of satisfaction out of bringing up a family. Artists and authors and men of science get happiness in this way if their own work seems good to them. Also， many men devote their weekends to voluntary and unpaid labor in their gardens， and when the spring comes， they experience all the joys of having created beauty.

The whole subject of happiness has， in my opinion， been treated too seriously. It had been thought that man cannot be happy without a theory of life or a religion. Perhaps those who have been led to unhappiness by a bad theory may need a better theory to help them to recovery， just as you may need a tonic when you have been ill. But when things are normal a man should be healthy without a tonic. It is the simple things that really matter. If a man delights in his wife and children， has success in work， and finds pleasure in the alternation of day and night， spring and autumn， he will be happy whatever his philosophy may be. If， on the other hand， he finds his wife faithless， his childrens noise unbearable， and the office a nightmare； if in the daytime he longs for night， and at night sighs for the light of day， then what he needs is not a new philosophy but a new lifestyle—a different diet， or more exercise， or what not.

Man is an animal， and his happiness depends on his physiology more than he likes to think. This is a simple conclusion， but I cannot make myself disbelieve it. Unhappy businessmen， I am convinced， would increase their happiness more by walking six miles every day than by any imaginable change of philosophy.

46. What does the author think of Epicurus way of pursuing happiness？

A. It deserves wide recognition.

B. It helps gamblers pursue money.

C. It is suitable for a few individuals.

D. It is adequate as a personal rule of life.

47. From the passage， we can learn .

A. humans can find pleasure without thinking too much

B. animals tend to be content with basic requirements

C. animals live in harmony with nature like humans

D. humans should learn to avoid high expectations

48. The businessman mentioned in the passage .

A. succeeds in inspiring people around him

B. attaches little importance to his life goal

C. makes efforts to meet basic requirements

D. ends up with wealth but little happiness

49. According to the passage， what do happy people have in common？

A. They are good at reading some fashionable new books.

B. They expect both family happiness and career success.

C. They possess the spirit of sacrifice without any reward.

D. They get satisfaction from their worthwhile activities.

50. Whats the authors opinion of life philosophy？

A. Philosophy shouldnt be stressed too much in our life.

B. Philosophy plays a more important role than lifestyle.

C. Philosophy will determine how happy people feel.

D. Philosophy is generally based on ones physiology.

The worst time to look for a job is when you must have a new one immediately. Job Searching under pressure often results in nervous interviewing and decisionmaking from relatively few options. If you are not in need of an immediate career change， here are ways you can improve your longterm career prospects today：

Identify at least two different roles. You do not have to be qualified for these positions today， nor do they have to exist in your company. However， these roles should be related to your current skill set. They are career options that look interesting. Once you have a couple of targets， think about why and what interests you. Pay close attention to what appeals to you， and write it down. This will give insight into your motivations and targets.

Subscribe to a career specific magazine. Knowledge is power in the workplace. All businesses must stay relevant to their customers in order to win the competitions and increase revenue. Reading about industry trends， advancements and success stories keeps you in touch with market conditions. This information allows you to see which companies and professionals are leading the peak. You can follow their examples in your own workplace. If you associate with those that stand out from the rest， you are likely to find yourself with better opportunities.

Do exceptional work. In any role， there is a way to perform at your best. Look for ways to deliver a top performance. Show up early， be flexible to new assignments， have a positive attitude， cooperate with other departments， pay attention to the little details.

Be professionally curious. Talk to people about their careers. Learn more about how success is measured in other roles， departments and companies. Ask people their thoughts on different industries. Challenge yourself to expand your business knowledge through interactions with people at regular time. People hire people. You never know what connections may be relevant when you start your next job search， so develop a habit of making good connections no matter where you go. Take the time to learn about others， and be helpful when you can.

As in all things in life， getting in front of a difficult task early is always less stressful than reacting to a career surprise. Changing jobs is to be expected. No matter how secure you feel today， the time will come when either you or your employer decide it is time to change.

Throughout history， competition among people has never stopped. Whether you like it or not， you are a member of the human race， and thus have to participate in the competition. When you are not studying， your classmates are； when you are not working hard， your friends are.

Of course， when we are young， our parents will protect and support us. But there will come a day when we have to stand on our own two feet. We will meet all kinds of challenges and competitions in our life. The road of life is filled with setbacks； we should develop a strong character and face them bravely with wisdom and confidence. In the end， we can proudly declare that we do not have any complaints or regrets in this life， for we have lived each day in a meaningful way.

五、One possible version：

Human history is filled with competition that we have to face. We will meet life challenges by ourselves one day， and only by personally dealing with them can we live a meaningful life. Needless to say， fierce competition can be found everywhere in our life. When we take an exam， apply to a university or hunt for a job， we are all faced with fierce competition. To be exact， we live in an age of competition. The existence of competition is of great significance. We have to admit that human progress and development are based on constant competition. Without competition， we would lose the motivation to keep trying and keep moving forward. From my perspective， competition is exactly what we need. As the saying goes， “A smooth sea never makes a skillful sailor.” Only by participating actively in each competition can we improve ourselves and achieve what we want. （151 words）
